CA 2638406

A method and apparatus for aligning structures. In one advantageous embodiment, an apparatus comprises a tapered member and a plurality of segments. The tapered member has a first end and a second end, a diameter that increases from the first end to the second end, and the diameter has a first center. The each of the plurality of segments has an inner surface and an outer surface, wherein the plurality of segments define a tapered channel capable of receiving the tapered member, wherein the outer surface has an outer diameter with a second center corresponding to the first center, and wherein movement of the plurality of segments to the second end increases the outer diameter with the second center remaining in around a same location.

Il s'agit d'une méthode et d'un dispositif qui permettent d'aligner des structures. Dans une version avantageuse, un dispositif comprend un élément conique et de multiples segments. L'élément conique présente une première extrémité et une seconde extrémité, un diamètre qui augmente de la première extrémité à la seconde, et ce diamètre comporte un premier centre. Chacun des multiples segments présente une surface intérieure et une surface extérieure. Ces multiples segments y déterminent une voie conique pouvant recevoir l'élément conique. La surface extérieure présente un diamètre extérieur avec un second centre correspondant au premier centre. Et le mouvement des multiples segments jusqu'à la seconde extrémité augmente le diamètre extérieur, le second centre demeurant aux alentours d'un même emplacement.
